Indexer Notes

Two pages of illustrations followed by a blank page. The illustrations concern drug use. The first one shows an SS officer smoking a marijuana cigarette. The second one depicts a well known funny animal mouse having the shakes. The third cartoon also depicts a figure with the shakes, this time a regular human. Last one shows a man stoned but in a happy state of mind.

Indexer Notes

This has two segments to it- the top half is the story mentioned in the title. The bottom half is an illustration titled "I Wanna Go Home!" Unlike with this volume, the "R. Crumb Head Comix" compilation treated the latter segment as its own separate story joined with the "You're Gonna Get There Anyway!" sequence that's on the following page.
